Lordy, Donna, if that lovely rose has sprawled it's gonna be fun
trying to get it back up....prickly, prickly.  Is it still in full
gorgeous bloom like in the photo?  If so, I'd sure hate to lose all
the flowers by hacking it back and would probably try to tie it up in
some fashion.  If it's over or about over, then I'd cut it back until
what is left is standing tall once more and let it leaf out again.

I can't quite figure out where you want to put something as the bare,
mulched part looks like it's walking space?  

Re: the photo - I find that taking garden shots is tough; hardly ever
come out looking like what you see when YOU look at an area;
everything always seems to blend in to everything else in a snap, if
you know what I mean.

If there is room, a hydrangea seems like it would do well there? 
Hard to say, really - looks like some shade there, no?
